ABSTRACT:
A mounting apparatus for securing a plurality of independent seating sections together to form a modular sofa assembly. Each of the independent seating sections has lower front and rear end portions which include front and rear cross bars, respectively. A first elongated frame rail secures to each of the rear cross bars when the independent seating sections are placed closely adjacent each other in a side-by-side configuration. A second elongated frame rail similarly attaches to the front cross bars of each chair seating section when the seating section are positioned closely adjacent each other in a side-by-side configuration. The first and second elongated frame rails are removably secured to the cross bars preferably via threaded screws and can therefore be attached quickly and easily if the sofa is to be disassembled and moved. The apparatus thus greatly facilitates the shipping and handling of independent seating sections which are intended to be coupled together to form a modular sofa by enabling each seating section to be shipped separately and then removably coupled together via the first and second elongated frame rails.
The first and second elongated frame rails each include a plurality of elongated apertures which significantly serve to introduce a degree of adjustability into the mounting apparatus to enable it to secure seating sections comprising varying thicknesses of fabric and padding in a side-by-side arrangement while maintaining a desired spacing between sections
